(Knock knock) hey Zanni, come out, listen a little,
listen, I say, Zanni!
What are you doing with your Franceschina?

I'm feeling ill, Sir, because my master
drove me away from home with a stick.

Now, what are you going to do,
with no bread to eat?

I thought, Sir, to travel around the world
and have joyful pleasure with my wife.

Who will pay the costs for you now, tell me, miserable?

Fool, don't you know I have a fine baboon,
that will give pleasure to everybody
and my wife afterwards will show the pug.
Dance, dance loafer,
Sir is blind and he can't see at all
Hey woman, hey wife
show the pug to this gentleman!
Hey beautiful pug, come on baboon!
The Pug dances and the baboon jumps.
